The Dilemma of Belief in the World of Today

"Belief appears no longer as the bold but challenging leap out of the apparent all of our visible world and into the apparent void of the invisible and intangible; it looks much more like a demand to bind oneself to yesterday and to affirm it as eternally valid. "


- Pope Benedict XVI

This is is a great quote from a brilliant thinker as to why so many people today adopt a hermeneutics of suspicion. This is a difficult barrier for the minister of the gospel today.
